Dxz4, Firre, and Xi-specific superloops. a Reciprocal interaction between Dxz4 and Firre in post-XCI fibroblasts. Top: 4C interaction profiles with the core of the Firre tandem repeat as the viewpoint. Bottom: 4C interaction profiles with the core of the Dxz4 tandem repeat as the viewpoint. Black: all unique reads (comp). Grey: repetitive (non-unique) reads (reps). Blue: Xa (cas)-specific reads. red: Xi (mus)-specific reads. Note: For all tracks and Hi-C datasets, “comp” (“complete”) refers to all unique reads, including non-allelic reads. “reps” refers to all non-unique reads. b 4C from a unique, allele-specific viewpoint at the 3′ end of Firre in cells with either an inactive mus (cas Xa/mus Xi) or an inactive cas (cas Xi/mus Xa). Red: interaction profile for unique (comp) reads on the mus allele. Blue: interaction profile for unique (comp) reads on the cas allele. Pink: interaction profile for non-unique (reps) reads from the mus allele. Light Blue: interaction profile for non-unique (reps) reads from the cas allele. Positions of Firre, Dxz4 and Xist are shaded light grey and indicated with red bars. c 4C interaction profile from a unique, allele-specific viewpoint at the 3’ end of Firre in cells with either a mus Xi (top tracks) or a cas Xi (bottom tracks), zoomed in onto Dxz4. Light blue: interaction profile from the cas Firre viewpoint. Pink: interaction profile from the mus Firre viewpoint. d 4C interaction profile over Firre using the Dxz4 core viewpoint in cells either with a mus Xi (top tracks) or a cas Xi (bottom tracks). Black: all unique (comp) reads. Grey: non-unique (repetitive) reads. Blue: cas reads. Red: mus reads. Note: c and d zoom into Dxz4 and Firre respectively to better highlight the allele-specific superloop interactions. The IgV browser’s windowing function can obscure the relative Xa:Xi interaction strength at large length scales (such as in a), thus these zoomed views allow better comparison of the Xa:Xi ratios
